For ordinary martial artists, cultivation is divided into three stages: skin refinement, flesh refinement, and bone refinement.
The corresponding realms are: Skin Refining belongs to the early stage of ordinary martial artists, Flesh Refining belongs to the middle stage of ordinary martial artists, and Bone Refining belongs to the late stage and peak stages of ordinary martial artists.
He Buzhong's abdomen had been slashed, but only a little blood had flowed.
Clearly, his skin-refining stage was nearing completion; his skin was tougher than cowhide, making it difficult for ordinary swords and knives to injure him. Otherwise, that last cut would have been fatal.
"snort!"
He Buzhong was furious. He snorted coldly. He had been a bandit for many years and was not one to be trifled with. He stepped forward, clenched his fist, and with a somersault, stood up and punched the bully hard in the chest.
At the same time, Liu the bodyguard swung his long sword at lightning speed.
"kill!"
The bully let out a cold snort, his face contorted with rage, his eyes bloodshot, and he charged forward like a madman, wielding a long knife.
puff!
Blood splattered as all three men were stabbed. Liu the bodyguard was seriously injured, the bully was seriously injured, and He Buzhong had a deep gash in his chest.
Three people were injured, but the little bully's aura only grew stronger. He glared at Liu the bodyguard and He Buzhong, a wicked smile playing on his lips, as if he didn't care about his injuries at all.
Liu, the bodyguard, remained serious and calm, unafraid of the little bully.
However, He Buzhong's face turned pale and he was somewhat panicked. When he saw the little bully rushing over, he turned around and ran, leaving Liu the bodyguard to fight the little bully alone.
The two attacked together, but he was stabbed twice, which filled him with fear.
Originally, his purpose in seeking out the Song Family Escort Agency was to protect his safety. However, the little bully somehow found a group of skilled men who fought the escort agency's men to a standstill, and he himself was almost killed.
Although his skin-refining skills had reached a high level, making him difficult to harm by swords and blades, it depended on who he was dealing with. The little bully in front of him was much stronger than him and was not someone to be trifled with.
He Buzhong had only run ten meters when he was stopped by one of the bandits, who drew his knife and attacked him.
He endured the pain, took a step, unleashed his strength, and his legs swelled up like balloons, shooting out like a cannonball in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, he reached out, clenched his fist, and aimed directly at the man's chest, delivering a powerful punch.
With a snap, the man's chest caved in as soon as he raised his long sword, his bones broke, blood gushed from his mouth, and he collapsed dead.
"Damn it, just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover. Go to hell."
He Buzhong killed one of the bandit henchmen with a single punch, sneered, and continued running into the dark street.
Fortunately, that person wasn't a skin-refining martial artist; otherwise, his punch would have at most severely injured the opponent, but he would have also gotten himself killed. This time, he was a bit overconfident, but he had no choice. He had been pushed to this point and had to fight to the death.
He didn't want to be captured by the bandit leader, Xiao Huba; he knew what the consequences would be.
"He's too powerful. At just the ordinary skin-refining stage, his speed and strength are at least three or four times greater than those of an ordinary adult."
Lin Xiaofei was startled. His opponent's legs suddenly exploded with extreme speed, killing a person with a single punch, which made him somewhat wary.
"Huh? He spotted me."
Suddenly, Lin Xiaofei, who was standing in the dark corner, changed his expression.
He Buzhong walked briskly past the street where Lin Xiaofei was. Suddenly, he glanced at Lin Xiaofei's location, his expression changed drastically, then quickly calmed down. He turned his head and looked at the little bully and Liu the bodyguard fighting in the distance.
"It scared the hell out of me, it turned out to be a child."
"Kid, get out of here, or I'll kill you right now!"
He Buzhong stopped in the middle of the street and shouted coldly at Lin Xiaofei.
After hesitating for a second, he quickly walked towards Lin Xiaofei, intending to kill him.
He didn't want anyone to know he had passed through this street, fearing that the bullies would catch up with him and question the child in front of him.
His face hardened, he slowly raised his hand, clenched his fist, and swung it down fiercely.
"Kill me? You're not qualified!"
Lin Xiaofei's face was resolute as he pushed off the ground with both legs.
"Um?"
He Buzhong was slightly startled, his eyes immediately turning cold with murderous intent. He turned his body, trying to dodge the incoming sword.
Sizzle!
A sound like a cowhide being pierced was heard.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiaofei thrust his sword forward.
Although he does look like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child with a sturdy build, the power of his perfected Green Peak Leg and his improved physique make him far stronger and faster than an ordinary adult, at most only slightly weaker than a Skin Refining Martial Artist.
With full speed and power, he thrust out his sword. He Buzhong was slightly unable to dodge and took the blow head-on.
"That intense?"
He Buzhong was startled and immediately realized that the child in front of him knew martial arts, and that the thrust of his sword was not simple.
If an eleven or twelve-year-old child knows a little bit of martial arts, that's already quite remarkable.
Seeing the other party's surprised expression, Lin Xiaofei did not let his guard down.
This time, he's going to steal someone else's martial arts manual, which is equivalent to the hatred of stealing a wife and killing a father—a deep-seated grudge.
Therefore, when the opponent charged at him, he immediately unleashed his full power.
Green Peak Leg!
The Eighteen Swords of Gale!
Lin Xiaofei's blood and qi flowed rapidly, his strength was fierce, and his longsword flew out like a sharp arrow.
The Eighteen Swift Swords of the Lesser Completion stage combines three swords into one, doubling the power of the sword technique.
Lin Xiaofei's charge, seemingly consisting of only a single sword thrust, actually unleashed 30% more power in his wrist than usual, demonstrating his full strength.
He Buzhong, a seasoned bandit, showed a hint of surprise on his face and immediately realized what was happening. He turned to the side, clenched his fist, and wanted to use it to kill the child in front of him.
However, just as he got close to Lin Xiaofei, another sword pierced through in an instant.
Bang!
Another sound like piercing cowhide rang out. He felt a tremendous force coming from the sword, like the horn of a fierce bull, which pierced his waist and, with a tear, the longsword entered his body.
His body, propelled by the immense force, was thrown backward and rolled on the ground.
"Go to hell!"
The opportunity has arrived!
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei channeled his strength into his wrists and leaped forward, lunging at He Buzhong. At the same time, his other hand struck out with lightning speed and ferocity, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole.
Piercing Palm!
The mastery of the Flowing Palm technique, at its peak, struck down hard at He Buzhong's temple.
Bang!
With a scream, He Buzhong was powerless to resist the powerful palm strike. Blood flowed directly from his eyes, ears, and mouth, his head lolled to the side, and he died instantly.
"I never expected that my full-force palm strike would kill him outright."
Looking at He Buzhong, whom he had killed, Lin Xiaofei felt that the palm strike was like a waterfall cascading down from above, carrying a powerful penetrating force.
Without thinking too much, and daring not to think too much, Lin Xiaofei took the package from He Buzhong and left quickly.
